"PINTU's Crypto Surge: AI, Meme Tokens Drive 150% YoY Growth"

PINTU, a leading all-in-one cryptocurrency platform in Indonesia, has announced a remarkable 150% year-on-year (YoY) surge in trading volume, fueled by the meteoric rise of AI and meme tokens. This significant growth reflects a broader global trend, as the cryptocurrency market as a whole witnessed substantial expansion.

According to PINTU's Chief Marketing Officer, Timothius Martin, the platform experienced a historic milestone in 2024, with total trading volume increasing by over 150% YoY and Monthly Trading Users (MTU) rising by more than 100%. The most traded tokens on PINTU were AI tokens, which saw a trading volume surge of over 1,200%, followed by meme tokens, which recorded a 230% increase.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization increased by 97.7% in 2024, reaching $3.40 trillion by the end of the fourth quarter. The average cryptocurrency trade volume increased by 128.2% from $88.0 billion in Q3 2024 to $200.7 billion in Q4 2024, indicating a worldwide boom in the industry.

The worldwide upsurge was driven by political and economic trends, particularly in the US. The election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States brought hope to the industry, as his administration appointed pro-crypto individuals and planned to create a strategic national Bitcoin reserve.

The 2024 cryptocurrency story was dominated by the rise of AI tokens, which had an average Return on Investment (ROI) of 2,940% for the top 10, and meme tokens, with an average ROI of 2,185%. Innovations like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and AI Agents contributed to the expansion of the AI business.

The emergence of the Solana (SOL) ecosystem was strongly associated with the growth of meme tokens, which were fueled by communities around projects like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Popcat (POPCAT). In Q4 2024, Solana's network transactions surpassed Ethereum's transaction volume by 152%.
